Ning Qingqing packed up her things and came out, and Gu Yuchen's car also arrived.

The smell of durian was wafting in the car.

For durian lovers, this is fragrant; but for Xiao He who doesn't like durian, it is a bit of a disaster.

He decided to deodorize the car first after sending the boss home.

Half an hour later, Gu Youchen took the ingredients in one hand and led Ning Qingqing upstairs with the other.

Ning Qingqing has already conceived N ways to eat durian along the way, completely forgetting about her recent gain of two catties.

When the two returned home, they washed their hands and changed their clothes. Gu Youchen went to the kitchen to prepare.

Ning Qingqing stood beside him, poking her head: "You Chen, do you want to help?"

Because Musang King usually does not open when it is mature, it is necessary to find the correct position and cut it open with a knife.

Obviously, it was not the first time Gu Youchen bought it. He skillfully found the place, inserted the knife down, and with a little force, the durian gradually peeled off along that petal.

Ning Qingqing sniffed the scent with light in her eyes.

Gu Youchen next to him smiled: "Qingqing, think about what else do you want to eat besides durian sago dew?"

Ning Qingqing talked a lot, and finally said: "Durian pancakes are too troublesome, and I don't know much about durian crisps, so baked durians with cheese is relatively simple. How about we have baked durians and sago dew?"

Gu Youchen nodded: "These two are fine, but I know how to make durian cakes."

"Ah?" Ning Qingqing opened her eyes wide: "This city?"

Gu Youchen raised his eyebrows: "Try?"

"Hmm!" Ning Qingqing quickly responded, "Then what should I do?"

"You come to make durian puree, and I'll make noodles and prepare other things." Gu Yuchen arranged.

The two worked together with a reasonable division of labor.

Dessert alone is not enough, so Gu Youchen ordered sashimi platter and sushi online again.

The sago over there has been cooked, and the grains are crystal clear. After taking a shower, thick coconut milk and milk are added. Finally, Ning Qingqing added durian **** on top.

On the other side, Gu Youchen added durian sauce to the prepared shortbread crust, wrapped it up, brushed it with egg yolk, sprinkled sesame seeds, and put it in the oven.

When the takeaway arrived, the community property delivered the things. Gu Youchen arranged the things in the restaurant and went to open a bottle of red wine.

The time to sober up is just waiting for the durian crisps to be cooked.

Ning Qingqing looked at a large table of sumptuous food, swallowed her saliva, and realized later whether she would be fat or not.

The aroma wafted from the oven, Ning Qingqing decided to wait until the meal was over.

She picked up her mobile phone and took a picture of nothing on the table. She was going to wait for the durian cake to come out, then take another picture and send it to Moments.

At this time, Gu Youchen came over and said, "Qingqing, the blueprint of the villa is out."

Ning Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Let me see."

Gu Youchen connected the phone to the projector, and dragged Ning Qingqing to watch it on the projection screen in the living room.

For the land they bought, Gu Yuchen, the architect friend, added some ideas of his own according to the two people's ideas, and designed the exterior and internal structure of the villa.

As for the decoration details, after the villa is repaired, Ning Qingqing and the two will ask the decoration team to design it according to the actual situation.

At this moment, on the projection screen is a building full of classical elements.

Whether it is the pillars outside or the small courtyard designed as an outdoor bar, all are carved with traditional patterns.

The eaves are also designed with traditional cornices, and the overall structure uses mortise and tenon technology, but it is only stated in the remarks that the main body is still reinforced concrete, which can ensure the stability of the house and the erosion of time.

There is a basement storage room below, and the storage room is not particularly large, because more space is reserved for the underground garage.

Ning Qingqing counted, counting the above ground and the underground garage together. If Gu Youchen wanted to hold a family party with Fa Xiao here, the car would be completely parked.

The villa has three floors, the first floor is the public activity area, the second floor is the bedroom, guest room, and study room, and the third floor is the gym, so the whole body is made of glass to ensure sufficient light and transparent space.

There is also an indoor swimming pool next to the gym.

Gu Youchen swipe the screen, the overall appearance is impressively clear.

Outside the gym is a circular corridor, which is also a carved building. There are flowers on the renderings, and the overall view from a distance looks like a hanging garden.

Ning Qingqing's eyes lit up: "It's really the way I like it!"

Gu Youchen asked her: "Is there anything to improve?"

Ning Qingqing thought for a while, and said: "The stairs from the swimming pool to the second floor can be designed as a spiral staircase. Although this may squeeze a little bit of the easternmost part of the second floor, it seems to look better?"

Gu Youchen imagined Ning Qingqing wearing a swimsuit from the swimming pool on the third floor down to the second floor, and her Adam's apple rolled: "Well, listen to my wife."

Ning Qingqing couldn't help but blushed: "Be serious, we're talking about design!"

Gu Yuchen hugged her: "Okay, let's talk about design, so does Qingqing have any opinions on the children's playground downstairs?"

When Ning Qingqing heard 'children', her cheeks became even hotter.

Looking at the outdoor playground, she imagined the scene of herself playing with Gu Youchen's child inside, and her heart felt soft.

So even she didn't notice it, and a gentle smile floated on the corner of her lips: "I think safety comes first. As long as there are no safety problems, the current design is just right."

Gu Yuchen nodded: "Okay, I will keep an eye on the playground facilities, but I suggest that you empty the space first, and start repairing after the baby is born, so that the facilities will be new."

Ning Qingqing didn't expect Gu Youchen to mention this topic all of a sudden, she also thought about it seriously, and said: "I think we are still young, we can develop our careers first, wait for two years..."

Gu Youchen held Ning Qingqing's hand: "Well, don't worry, I still want to live with you two."

While talking, the oven over there indicated that it had been baked.

Ning Qingqing suddenly took the phone to take pictures with great interest.

I have to say that Gu Youchen is indeed a lover of sweets. It looks like he baked it himself before, the heat is just right, and the durian crispy skin is golden, which makes people's index fingers move.

Ning Qingqing posted a picture in Moments: "Today's food is not disappointing, and tomorrow I am determined to regain 100 catties!"

That night, Ning Qingqing was a little tired from work recently, so she went to bed early.

The next morning, when she woke up, she saw that Qiao Xiaomian had sent her a dozen messages, all around ten o'clock last night.

She read it from the beginning, and after flipping through the screenshots, she couldn't help being stunned.

Only now did she know what kind of drama Si Luoqing and the two had performed on the website yesterday, and Gu Youchen had already dealt with everything without her knowing it!

He didn't even mention it.

There was a complex feeling in my heart, a little warm, a little sweet, and an indescribable touch.

Or more impulsively, let her directly open the door and trot to Gu Yuchen.

The man was reheating the durian crisps that he hadn't eaten last night. The porridge in the pot was smoking. When he heard footsteps, he turned his head and greeted Ning Qingqing naturally: "Good morning, Qingqing."

Ning Qingqing had already run in front of him, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the side of the cheek.

Gu Youchen was stunned, staring blankly at her who was so close.

This was the first time that Ning Qingqing took the initiative to kiss him. It was different from the farewell kisses and meet-and-greet kisses he had requested before. She actually came to kiss him on her own initiative.

After a short period of astonishment, it was full of the feeling of fireworks in full bloom, and the ecstasy that he could only experience himself!

But the girl in front of her fled irresponsibly after flirting with her. She took two steps, but Gu Yuchen grabbed her waist from behind and brought her back into her arms.

"Qingqing, don't scumbag me." He said, kissing her ear.

Ning Qingqing seemed unable to move for a moment, her whole body was poked in a sensitive place, she was so obedient.

Gu Youchen kissed him deeply, and then let go of him a little bit, wrapped Ning Qingqing with one hand, and lifted the lid of the porridge pot with the other.

When they sat down to have breakfast, Gu Youchen said, "Qingqing, I heard from Zhou Linghang that your project preparations have already been completed, and when all the documents are obtained, you will almost get busy?"

Ning Qingqing nodded: "Well, it's almost like this. The second half of the year will be busy, competing with Si's for market share, and we can't let the other party notice it early, so we need to be cautious in many cases."

Gu Youchen said: "Then let's go to Qingtang Town before the documents come down?"

Hearing him mention Qingtang Town again, Ning Qingqing looked at her work schedule, then nodded: "Okay, my mother and the others are moving here next week, we can go there this weekend and come back before Tuesday."

Gu Youchen nodded: "Okay, I will go to work today and re-plan the itinerary for the next few days."

In the next two days, both of them were very busy, but fortunately, all the things to be dealt with were dealt with before leaving early on Saturday morning.

That morning, Gu Youchen and Ning Qingqing got on the plane to Nancheng.

From Nancheng to Qingtang Town, it takes two hours to drive after getting off the plane. When I heard that my daughter is coming, although Ning Ruojun has not come back from a business trip, she has already asked someone to book a private room for the two of them in Nancheng. , also prepared a car.

It's not the first time Gu Youchen has come here, but this time the meaning is different.

In the past, he was always disappointed, but this time the person he likes is already his wife, and he took him to see the place where she grew up.

When the two entered the private room, they didn't know at all that in the private room next to them, Shen Zhiqian and the driver just came out after finishing their meal, paid the bill and left.

An hour later, Gu Youchen and Ning Qingqing also left the restaurant and drove to Qingtang Town together.

In the small town in the summer afternoon, there are bursts of cicadas singing.

When the car drives through the town, everything that passes by comes from the front.

The last time Ning Qingqing came back was during the Ching Ming Festival, she came back by herself to sweep the graves of her grandmother and Zhang Lao.

Because she was still working at Shen's at the time, and Ching Ming Festival was on Friday, she flew over from the Imperial City early that morning and went directly to the cemetery.

I didn't stay that night, but went back to Nancheng at night, and flew to Emperor City at night.

At that time, there were some problems in the relationship between her and Shen Zhiqian, so Shen Zhiqian didn't know from the beginning to the end that she had gone back to her hometown on Qingming Day to visit her closest relatives by herself.

The time in the small town is relatively slow. This is not a tourist development area, because Qiao Town, which is closer to the South City, has started to develop tourism as early as ten years ago and has become a very mature tourist area.

Qingtang is a little bit off here, and it is indeed not as big as Qiaozhen, so it still retains its original style.

Following Ning Qingqing's instructions, Gu Youchen parked the car in the parking lot of the town, then took their suitcases and walked beside Ning Qingqing.

The town was not big, and it took less than half an hour to get from one end to the other. Ning Qingqing took Gu Youchen around and went to Ning Qingqing's grandmother's house.

The door is an old-fashioned lock with a thin layer of dust on it.

Gu Youchen asked: "Qingqing, did you bring the key?" He was worried that she would forget the key, and the two of them would have to stay in a hotel when they got home.

In other words, going to live in the Xujia Inn seems more like revisiting the old place.

However, Ning Qingqing gave him a mysterious smile, and then walked two steps to the next flower platform, removed the third brick on the edge of the flower platform, and took out a key.

Gu Youchen was dumbfounded.

Ning Qingqing took the key, brushed off the dirt on it, and raised her eyebrows at Gu Youchen: "This is a spare one!"

She proudly turned the key to open the door, and beckoned Gu Yuchen to go in.

It's just that when she just walked into the yard, a cat jumped down from the roof.

Ning Qingqing was caught off guard, startled, and subconsciously hid in the arms of the person behind her.

Gu Youchen hugged him in his arms and smiled lowly: "Qingqing, does that cat not know you anymore?"

Ning Qingqing also came to her senses, poked her head out of his arms, and found that it was the one from the neighbor's house, she couldn't help sighing:

"It's almost 10 years old. I gave birth to the big peanut next door when I was not in high school. How can I be so healthy at this age!"

Gu Youchen looked at her, implying something: "There are cats in the water and soil here."

He also raises people, such as her, so that he will never forget him after seeing her.

The two approached the yard, and the doors of the houses inside were unlocked, and they opened with a light twist.

There is relatively little sand and dust here. Although it has been several months, there is only very light dust.

Ning Qingqing put down the things and showed Gu Youchen first: "The first floor is the kitchen and dining room, and there are three bedrooms on the second floor. At that time, my grandmother and I shared one room, and the other room was reserved for my mother. But my mother is busy with work. , I don’t come here often, so that room became my study.”

After she said that, she took him to the stairs.

Gu Youchen followed Ning Qingqing up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Looking out of the window, you can see the meandering river, and the whole city is built on both sides of the river.

He turned his gaze, and suddenly stopped somewhere.

It's that bridge.

Where he first met her.

The stone arch bridge is not wide, actually that side is the narrowest part of the creek.

There are stairs at both ends. He remembered that when he passed by the other side of the bridge, he saw Ning Qingqing coming from this end.

She tied a ponytail and her eyes were clean and clear, which reminded him of the clear lake he saw on the top of the mountain when he climbed the mountain one year ago.

The local language is called "tears of the goddess".

"You Chen?" Ning Qingqing saw that Gu Youchen seemed to be staring blankly at something, so she also lay down on the window and followed his gaze.

But she saw nothing in particular.

She couldn't help turning her head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Youchen looked at her deeply, and after a few seconds, he said in a low voice: "Look at the clearest lake water."

"Lake water?" Ning Qingqing was puzzled, and explained: "This small river was originally a weir, which was artificially diverted from another river a hundred years ago. We don't have a lake here, and the nearest one is tens of kilometers away from the town. ..."

However, the man in front of him smiled: "Yes."

He didn't explain either, but leaned over and kissed Ning Qingqing's eyes.

The most beautiful lake he has ever seen is right beside him.

The author has something to say:

Revisiting the old place, Qingqing will find the truth about someone's wallet photo in the town~

Shen Zhiqian: I don't know that she came here alone during the Ching Ming Festival, if possible...

Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: Dawn, 5 bottles of balls; yours 1 bottle;
